OFFER DESCRIPTION
The position is offered within the research project funded by the National Science Centre (Poland).
Title: A novel multiphysics multiscale model of field-assisted sintering technology.
Principal Investigator: prof. Jerzy Rojek, e-mail: [email protected], webpage: https://www.ippt.pan.pl/en/staff/?osoba=jrojek
Project duration: 34 months with possible extension to 48 months
Institution: Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences
Project objectives:
The project aims to develop a novel numerical model of the powder metallurgy process called FAST (Field Assisted (or Activated) Sintering Technology) or SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering). In the FAST technique, a loose or loosely bonded powder is consolidated (sintered) under applied pressure at an elevated temperature (below the melting point) induced by an electric current. This is a key technology for manufacturing new materials. The FAST is a complex process associated with a complex interaction of electrical, thermal and mechanical phenomena. The new multiphysics model will be developed within a multiscale modelling framework. The discrete element method (DEM) will be used for modelling at the microscopic level, whereas the finite element method (FEM) will be employed for macroscopic modelling.
PhD stipend: 5000 PLN/month

Why Poland
Poland is a fascinating country that serves as the geographical and cultural crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe. Located at the center of the Northern European plain, Poland has been a nation of survivors since the foundation of the first Polish state more than 1000 years ago. Through its turbulent history its people have managed to maintain their identity, and today, the country enjoys a crucial position as the largest of the former Eastern European states and one of the most populous members of the European Union.
Working in Poland
In Polish cities, it’s easy for a student to find a part-time job. The wages increase systematically, so many Polish students choose paid studies and start working. Although the permission to work in Poland depends on your country of origin.
Polish main cities
Warsaw – the capital of Poland (Polish: Warszawa) is the capital and largest city of Poland. It stands on the Vistula River in east-central Poland, roughly 260 kilometres (160 mi) from the Baltic Sea and 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population is estimated at 1.740 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 2.666 million residents, which makes Warsaw the 9th most-populous capital city in the European Union.
